For his illness, he could not sit in B.Ed. Examination and he gave up the second chance, as it was against his nature to try for the next time.

Natasena was his loving spirit and Saroj was the team's beloved forerunner. He was a visionary so long as he liked to see the group thrive on the audience entertained. The twilight of better profession than that as School Teacher could not take him away from Kolkata, because its cultural canopy offered him shelter.
